Outreach in United Kingdom

Outreach in North Ireland

Describes activity undertaken by NIJAC to broaden the understanding and awareness across the professional bodies and the general public of the work being undertaken by NIJAC. In so doing NIJAC hopes to attract the widest possible applicant pool when advertising judicial posts.

NIJAC has a statutory duty to engage in a programme of action to ensure, so far as it is reasonably practicable to do so, that a range of persons reflective of the community in Northern Ireland is available for consideration by NIJAC whenever it is required to select a person to be appointed, or recommended for appointment, to a listed judicial office.
